This was a tough decision to choose a cheddar from all these great Cabot Creamery Cheeses.
I chose White Oak Cheddar. I’m glad I did. It melts perfectly. Cabot’s Legacy Cheddar cheeses aren’t oily but smooth and creamy. Slightly melting it made it spreadable. That quality is very handy when creating hand held snacks and sandwiches.
I love hand held snacks and appetizers. Informal gatherings with friends are best. Dipping snacks without a drippy mess is even better.
Cheddary Good Chicken Bites cradle delicate chicken pieces spiced up with horseradish rolled in a flour tortilla spread with cheddar goodness! Baked not fried or grilled. What is the dip, you ask? Hummus. I love garlic hummus but any kind will do! The cheddar blends perfectly with all these flavors. How could the recipe be anything but awesome!
- 6 ounces Cabot Cheddar, shredded (I used White Oak Cheddar)
- 2 flour tortillas cut into 6 triangles each
- 1 cup shredded chicken
- ¼ cup sliced onions
- ¼ cup vegetable oil, divided
- 1 Tablespoon horseradish
- salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Sauté chicken and onions in 1 Tablespoon of the oil.
- Brush remaining oil lightly over both sides of the triangles.
- Melt shredded cheddar for 10 seconds at a time in the microwave until softened. Divide evenly between 12 triangles (1/2 ounce cheese each) and spread with a knife.
- Stir horseradish, salt and pepper into chicken and onions. Divide mixture between triangles.
- Gently fold over and tuck point underneath.
- Place on baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes until tortilla begins to brown and cheese melts.
- Serve warm or room temperature with your favorite hummus.
